route_analysis/README.md

Routes for walking to school

This script generates maps to analyze the potential walking routes for students to their school.

• I excluded the addresses of the students from the repository.
• The actual route generation is done with OSRM, I run it locally in a docker container.
• The basemap is pulled from Stadia Maps. The usage of the script is well within the free tier, you'll need an API key from them.

Example figures

This script will generate a few figures:

A heatmap of student addresses:

A map of all the walking routes within the walk boundary:

A map of those routes colored by the level of traffic stress to bike

Using make

The command make route_analysis will run route_analysis.Rmd which is an R markdown file containing the original R script route_analysis.R
